I've put many 24 foot 6" X 6" poles in by hand, just me and my wife (and I'm not a big guy). Have your hole dug, put a vertical board in the hole - for the pole bottom to rub on as you walk it into the hole. Then - get on the end and walk it up. I've done 20 footers by myself - but that's my limit. With 24 footers, my I walk it up from the end and my wife walks it up from the middle.
Now, if your's are 8" diameter or bigger, the loader is a much better option. Just wrap a choker chain around the pole (self-tightening) a little above the center - and lift. With a 24 foot pole, you hook about 13 feet high. I have a 8 foot heavy steel pipe that I bolt to a backhoe bucket that makes a good extension for such work and gives extra height.
